Wang Zhan asked solemnly, his face full of seriousness.
Neither acknowledging nor denying, he just stared intently at the woman's every move, trying to discern her thoughts.
If her intentions were good, it would be a relief for Wang Zhan, since it ant being spared from danger again in this unfamiliar place, avoiding getting trapped unknowingly in soone else's sche.
However, if she ant harm, therein lay the problem. He had encountered too many characters associated with the Federation, the majority of them unfortunately not the good kind, and the Federation itself didn't carry much weight.
Otherwise, why hadn't Yun Tianyi directly charged in to rescue him?
The woman gave a light laugh.
"You still have that familiar sll about you."
Wang Zhan was slightly bemused, and offered a faint smile.
"Oh, is that so? Should I then show you so respect?"
At this mont, Wang Zhan's gaze beca sowhat provocative, weaving over the voluptuous woman like a needle and thread.
The voluptuous woman did not respond; she simply looked at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"Do you want to die? If you dare to look at
again, I assure you, even if I don't kill you, after leaving here you would only be fit to be a eunuch."
The implication was simple: provoke her and it wasn't just minor things like not being able to continue his lineage at stake; even his life would not be entirely within his control.
Upon this, Wang Zhan instantly closed his eyes, mouth, and ears.
"Alright, I am going to ask you a few questions. If you can answer , I can let you go."
Wang Zhan trembled slightly inside, becoming more cautious.
"You ask!"
"Is the Federation still in control of the Earth?"
"...Yes!"
"Which are the Federation's Ten Great Families now?"
"...I do not know."
"...Who is the most powerful person in the Federation now?"
"...I do not know."
Wang Zhan was a bit embarrassed, his face glum, not to ntion the contemptuous gaze of the voluptuous woman.
"Then what do you know?"
She almost suspected that this youngster was ssing with her; otherwise, how could he not know the answer to any of her questions.
Does he really think she's a fool? The "General Outline of the Supre Pure Thunder" that Wang Zhan had been practicing—she could sense it even if she were blindfolded, an unforgettable scent.
Wang Zhan scratched his head.
"I know the Big Four of the Federation and so general knowledge about the rest of the Federation. But I really don't know what you asked. After all, the Federation will not publicize these things."
The woman suddenly thought of a question. The Qín Family... could they have disappeared? After all, it had been over two hundred years. If the Qín Family were no longer in existence, that would be normal.
So, she asked with a complicated tone, "Then, is the Qín Family... still around?"
Upon hearing this, it was like a bolt from the blue for Wang Zhan. His heart stopped abruptly, his expression frozen, instantly picked up by the woman.
Just as Wang Zhan gritted his teeth, ready to make up an explanation, the woman waved her hand, and he could no longer speak.
All in all, it was true that he knew about the existence of a Qín Family in the Federation, which was the Family Qin Ying belonged to. Although he did not know their full strength, during his brief encounter in Jing State, Wang Zhan did sense so of their power.
"So, isn't the Qín Family in the Federation, but in a Small World like this one?"
Otherwise, how to explain that Wang Zhan, a true-blue Federation citizen, had never even heard of this family na before his brief encounter with Qin Ying?
Suddenly, a thought rose in Wang Zhan's mind. His complexion turned extrely ugly, and his thoughts heavy.
If there is one Qín Family, aren't there the other nine? If they really exist, where is their battlefield? In the stars, or rely hiding in a Little World...
This question related to so of Wang Zhan's preoccupations and even subverted his worldview.
While he was prepared, he wasn't a fool and couldn't fail to feel the undercurrent hidden in the Federation, like the original organization – where was their support and backbone hidden...
...
The woman didn't know that her words had sparked a storm in Wang Zhan's mind.
After her earlier guesswork, she was convinced that Wang Zhan was from the Qín Family. Otherwise, why would he lose his composure like that?
Besides, it seed that his claim of not knowing about the Federation was not false. She couldn't help but think.
Could it be that the Qín Family of the Federation has completely fallen from the peak, mired in dust and reduced to hiding their identity? What had happened in the Federation to reduce the once famous Qín Family to their present state over the years? One should know that when the initial decision was made, choosing to let so of the Qín Family mbers go into hiding was based on this consideration. To survive the turmoil, it was necessary to retain so strength and heritage, so as not to bring about the extermination of the Qín Family.
However, now that she knew the answer, the woman had nothing else to do but maintain silence and feel heavy.
She couldn't violate the organization's rules and let this Little World debut on today's turbulent Earth. Just look at the way Wang Zhan entered here, tearing the void with great power, to understand how dire the situation must be.
"If you don't know, then forget it. Have a rest. Get ready, I'll let you out tomorrow. I believe you don't want to stay here too long."
The woman gave Wang Zhan a aningful look and spoke in a soft voice.
A fog imdiately clouded Wang Zhan's mind; his ntal state seed lighter, yet he felt as if he was lost in a cloud.
Is it that simple?
The shield had told him that once it was repaired, it would have the power to let him leave this Small World. Wang Zhan was already excited beyond asure. But could this woman just utter a sentence and send him away directly?
Could she be the mistress of this world? And why did she just inquire about the Qín Family's situation? Why did she let him leave so easily?
Soon, Wang Zhan caught his train of thought.
Did she think that he was from the Qín Family, and that the symbol of the Qín Family should be... the "General Outline of the Supre Pure Thunder" scroll?
Sure enough, the woman suddenly asked, "Isn't the thod you're cultivating now incomplete?"
Wang Zhan quickly shut his mouth, daring not to speak, maintaining silence. His heart was trembling in fear, nearly scared half to death.
He wailed inwardly.
Damn it! Can't you stop talking, you little vixen? Don't you know that scaring soone to death is literally deadly... No, people can actually die.
...
Now he didn't even dare to refute, which directly confird his suspicions.
If the little vixen saw through his poorly hidden truth of not being a mber of the Qín Family, she would be the first to want to skin Wang Zhan alive and break his bones. One should know that the "General Outline of the Supre Pure Thunder" scroll was given to him by Qin Ying, and this kind of family secret is never passed on to outsiders. Those who dare to violate it are hunted until death.
However, the woman's powerful ntal energy, like a needle, directly engraved the thod onto Wang Zhan's mind. He completely understood it with just one glance and could never forget it, as if it were deeply etched.
"You are indeed from the Qín Family."
The woman nodded slightly, sensing Wang Zhan's trembling spirit and scolding him, "It's just so ntal engraving techniques, which have been passed down through generations of our Family. Why are you so scared? Are you afraid I'm going to eat you, just because I'm a woman?"
Wang Zhan's legs were weak; he prayed inwardly.
She played her cards! She revealed her hand! She actually laid it all out!
Wang Zhan was on the verge of tears but forced himself to maintain a composed expression; he was in an extrely difficult situation.
System Dad, can you upgrade quickly and let
learn the Art of Weakening Won's Legs! I'm not afraid of her eating ; it's not like either of us would lose out. But I am afraid she'll kill
to silence ! Get it?
"Okay, since you are restless, prepare a little. I will co tomorrow and send you away."
The woman's gaze grew colder, and she turned to leave.
"Hold on!"
Wang Zhan shouted loudly and stopped her. He didn't question why she was going to send him away tomorrow. He was certain that if she knew his truth, he would be dead for sure. Of course, it was safer to run away as soon as possible.
"I still have missions and can't stay long. Why can't I leave today?"
"...Sending people away is not a decision I can make alone. Even if you are from my Qín Family, you can't just open the door to the Small World without discussing it."
The woman seed helpless.
Has the Qín Family fallen to such a point of ignorance? Not to ntion, they were no different from a poor farr. It seems that the Qín Family outside has also beco this kind of worthless character, truly an unfortunate family.
Wang Zhan surrendered.
"Alright, but I have many friends who also ca in. Can you give
so ti to gather them before leaving?"
He decided: find the people and leave imdiately.
Unexpectedly, with a sudden gust of wind, dozens of powerful figures were suddenly pulled in front of her. She pointed to so of their faces and asked, "Are these the ones?"
...
"Wang Zhan, is that you, Wang Zhan?"
"It's really him, it's really him! We're not dead, we're not dead! Hahahaha..."
"We've made it, we've made it! We gained an extra life! Wang Zhan, thank you! After we get out, we'll follow you and wreak havoc! Those beasts? We'll slaughter them like pigs! It'll be exhilarating..."
Who could have expected that most people survived, especially Wang Zhan.
No one could have expected that all the people who were originally prepared to fight to the death, ready to perish, could have such a narrow escape from death.
Without a doubt, Wang Zhan was their lucky star.
As for the voluptuous woman in a plain skirt, she disappeared without a trace, only a hint of appreciation and contemplation in her eyes.
"Although he had to change his surna, this kid seems to have good connections and decent skills. Perhaps he might be another pillar of resurgence for the Qín Family. It's worth helping him out, sharing so of the Qín Family's heritage. It would also be a gesture of goodwill from my lineage towards them..."
Thinking this, she gently patted a young and charming girl's shoulders.
"Yu Yu, co with Grandma. Grandma has sothing to instruct you..."
